Happy Canada Day
So how did you spend your Canada day?
I stayed in bed til 1:00, got up and have been watching movies ALL day long! haha
TCM (turner classic movies) has been playing movies like "rebel without a cause" and "blackboard jungle" great classics about young people getting into trouble.
Interesting how different the outlook on teenagars was in the fifties. They were seen as trouble makers, but not "lost causes". The schools were rough and fights were common, but people could see through to the soft side of kids.
It's made me wonder about the condition of schools today and the things that are happening to kids in 2010. I caught a part of an episode of "the secret life of a teenager" the other day and it saddened me. There is so much going on in the lives of kids today, so much that weighs on them and that they have to choose everyday. The culture screams the opposite of what we want for so many of them.
Reading through the 1st Chronicles, and again seeing the laws and commandments that God laid out and how the Israelites were tripped up by the culture of the people who stayed behind. The way they quickly turned from the Almighty to the gods of the day. Are we any different?
Just some questions that are rattling in my head... and some things I feel compelled to pray about.
